UNITED STATES SENATOR ' As I pause in a swing across the state to dictate this column, it is becoming more and more evident that the effort to draft new farm legislation when Congress con venes will be marked by a sharp controversy over whether there shall be direct subsidies to agri culture or production control. Each of the two plans has many supporters. The action of the ag riculture commissioners from ten Southern states in approving the subsidy idea is significant. Those opposed to production control contend, and with merit to their fcontentions, that weather and pest conditions cannot be controlled and enter strongly into the situation. They argue that if there is production control, drought or heavy rainfall, pests or some other emergency can wipe i out all the gains made through j crop shortages. Moreover, it is always difficult to get all farm ers to agree to production con trol. In industry, it is claimed, when some industrial plants are faced with a slow-down in production, others speed-up and take advan tage of that situation. The same holds true for agriculture and in many cases production control does not work evenly. The tour of members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture through the farm belts will un doubtedly develop much informa tion as to what the farmers want. One suggestion already made, in connection with cotton, is that the price be pegged with regard to domestic consumption and that the surplus be "dumped into the world markets. It is rightly claim ed that to carry through such a plan would require tariff changes to prevent an influx of cheap goods from abroad made from the "dumped" American cotton. Many veteran Senators who have spent years with the prob lems of agriculture always in their mind, are strongly opposed to production control. In fact, the disagreement over production control as proposed in administration measures intro duced at the last session of Con gress had much to do with pre venting the enactment of a new farm program. But in the end the law will probably be framed on the basis of what the farmers themselves and the leaders of farm organizations want. To as certain this is the purpose of the field studies of the Senate Com mittee. Many Congressional leaders recognize that with a short session generally favored, due to the 1938 elections, it would be extremely difficult to start in on what is generally described as "tariff tin kering.' This fact alone, some contend, may help swing support toward production control for the present, with more permanent leg islation to be drafted later. Tariff changes—despite the fact that there is a great need for bet ter protection for the farmer have always been one of the most controversial legislative questions. Thus to open tariff debate in the next session, along with the pro spects of new tax legislation, might throw Congress into a mud dle worse than that of the last session. However, one thing no& seems certain. When Congress convenes, whether in special or regular ses sion, a farm program will be ready. It is not inconceivable that a compromise of some fashion will be reached between those who oppose production control and those who favor this method of meeting the farm situation. Some dissatisfaction over the nine-cent loan on cotton may have an in flueace on any new farm bill. Prom the standpoint of the far mer, these controversies are hope ful signs. They mean that there is real interest in the farm prob lem and that it is daily winning more attention. And there is agreement that the farmer can not have any assurance of eco nomic stability as conditions are today.
